Hi! I'd like to know if some work is already planned to support other architectures in the context threaded JIT. As far as I've seen, the code needs some refactoring before adding more architectures, is someone already on this? I ask because once this is done, I'd be interested in trying to contribute some code for a PowerPC JIT compiler. Cheers, Guillaume
Hi Guillaume.
I'd like to know if some work is already planned to support other architectures in the context threaded JIT. As far as I've seen, the code needs some refactoring before adding more architectures, is someone already on this?
I think your impression of the code is right: it will take some refactoring before it's ready for porting to other architectures. Would you be interested in contributing to the refactoring?

Neat! Geoff

Not sure I can do that efficiently, I think don't know the code architecture enough yet for this, but I guess I can try. Anyway, if someone else wants to do this, don't wait.

Neat!
I feel more confident on this topic! I'll keep the list informed of any progress. Guillaume

It's probably best for those of us most involved in the core work to do some of the refactoring before newcomers dive in, but we do hope to get to it soon. - Maciej
